Budweiser Clydesdales Visit Planet Fun

This past Wednesday, November 16th 2011 the world famous Budweiser Clydesdale eight-horse hitch and the sample wagon made a special appearance at Planet Fun in the neighboring city of Shallotte, NC.
This equine event began at 4pm and lasted little over an hour. Shifting weather prompted an early end to the event. Santa and friends had a sing-along with holiday music in front of Planet Fun while the team of Clydesdales stood poised for pictures. Dedicated staff diligently tended to the goliath icons, keeping them comfortable in the presence of an elated crowd. Immaculately groomed from head to hoof, roses at the tips of their braided manes and adorned with ornate Budweiser tack, the gallant 8 were well mannered throughout the entire gathering. Their mascot Dalmatian, Brewer stood at his post atop the wagon proudly watching over the activities, while taking in the aromas from the KFC across the street.
“Qualifying Facts” about these majestic icons: These Clydesdales must be a bay gelding; at least 4 years old; stand at least 18 hands (72 inches) at the withers; weigh between 1,800 & 2,300 lbs., feature a white blaze on their face and have four white legs to become one of the selected steeds.
